SYNOPSISpamtohtmltbl [-transparent=color] [-verbose] [file]
Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use dou‐
ble hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use
white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from
its value.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamtohtmltbl converts a visual image to an HTML table with one cell per
pixel. The cell is empty, but its background color is that of the
pixel.
file is a PBM, PGM, PPM, or PAM file. If PAM, it must be a standard
visual image of tuple type RGB, GRAYSCALE, or BLACKANDWHITE, or some‐
thing equivalent with extra higher numbered channels, but pamtohtmltbl
doesn't check the tuple type; it just assumes.
Note that the more normal way to include a visual image in an HTML doc‐
ument is with a <IMG> tag.
Not all web browsers render tables as pamtohtmltbl expects, and there‐
fore show a grossly distorted image. Internet Explorer 7 on Windows
and Opera 9.02 on Windows have been seen to work; Firefox 2.0.0.16 on
the same Windows system has been seen not to.
OPTIONS
-transparent=color
This option indicates that pixels of the specified color are to
be transparent in the HTML table. The table cell for a pixel of
this color will have no background color specified.
Specify the color (color) as described for the argument of the
ppm_parsecolor() library routine ⟨libppm.html#colorname⟩ .
-verbose
This option causes pamtohtmltbl to display messages about the
conversion process.
